Here are some very interesting files on the fate of the Jews on the British Isles during the occupation. I found these last month and they are for...
Funny about seeing "Amish" as an option for the poll! Where I live we're surrounded by them. No, running water, no machines, no...
Here is my airforce: Long range bomber: Farman F.222 Medium range bomber: LeO 451 Dive bomber: Stuka Ground attack: Breguet 691 Fighter:...
Ok. Lets begin with Order 227, Penal batallions, and NKVD Blocking troops. For added bonus, I'll add this: "The prominent Russian military...
As for overall French plans in the Saar, there isn't much. I've found very little in the way of English language publications, perhaps nothing...
This guy kills me. I would like to know what kind of employer would hire this man? My bet: because of his choice of looks, he's unable to find a...
I knew Mosier's book was unpopular among the traditionalist interpretations of WW 2 history. I myself disagreed with many of his conclusions, some...
I think the French are quite grateful that they didn't have leaders such as Stalin and Zhukov. For one, the French didn't have 20+ million lives...
I think you're reiterating what I've said all along. Applying outdated doctrine, or any doctrine shown to be almost the polar opposite of your...
Well, for added fun, there's talk of Ralph Nader jumping into the fray. He doesn't have a chance in Hell, but I've always enjoyed listening to...
I have a nice little book detailing the French order of battle for the Saar Offensive and I can't seem to find it. Off the top of my head, I...

I generally agree with your statement here, though about the initial mobilization, I've heard differently. From what I understand, the...
I've heard of it, and I'm anxious to see it. Part of the latest trend in France to give recognition to the colonial troops under their command. In...
To be uber-realistic, wouldn't it be best to pick only aircraft which existed by 1940, or are you allowing any aircraft developed during the whole...
I suppose that my problem with such "what if" discussions is that there must be at least 2 things in them: 1- a high and realistic degree of...
Doh! I should have realized I was refering you to the same site! Sorry! Perhaps a forum on the subject would help? Surely some of the members...
As for internet sources, they vary as you say. There is one French site however that I feel is decent and simple enough to follow. Hope this...
Yes, I agree. Any improvement on their intel agencies and spy networks could only have benefitted them. I'm sure they had their sources, but...
Yes, this is true, but we knew this only after the fact. Did the French know this at the time in 1939, no they didn't. If they had known, then...
